Happy birthday to me!
I thought it a great opportunity to celebrate my DAY by sharing 38 words of astuteness like shining, flickering trick candles that don’t go out no matter how much you try to blow them out. And greatest of all you still get your wish.
1. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Don’t diminish your achievements. Set your own standards.
2. The journey is much more important than the destination.
3. Educate yourself, form your own opinions and give yourself the freedom to change your mind.
4. Be truthful, patient, persevering, modest and generous to all that come on your way or in contact with you.
5. You can do more than you think you can.
6. Stop caring what others think of you and begin caring about what you think of yourself.
7. You are not your emotions.
8. Everything happens for a reason.
9. Remain slightly aloof. Do not let everyone know everything about you. Cultivate a mystique.
10. Say YES to new opportunities, especially if you’re scared and excited.
11. The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. It lies in having no goals to reach.
12. Get the most out of life’s experiences by anticipating what’s to come, being present in the moment and remembering it well.
13. Try everything once, adopting what works for you and leaving what doesn’t for others.
14. Be the master of your will but the servant of your
conscience.
15. Value freedom of expression and freedom of speech and respect everyone’s right to these freedoms.
16. Where ever you go, there you are. So take the time to fall in love with yourself.
17. Every choice you make shapes your life. The
small, frequent ones more so than the singular gestures.
18. Remember this ancient Indian proverb: "if you conquer your mind, you conquer the world."
19. Do more of what you enjoy and less of what you don’t.
20. Perspective is everything and you can never try too many.
21. Never apologise for being yourself and never use it as an excuse.
22. You can only change yourself but in doing so you can change the world.
23. Make a new friend or acquaintance every day. Keep an updated list of all contacts close at hand. Rich relationships are the DNA of a rich, rewarding life.
24. You have permission to make your own choices and take your own actions.
25. Surround yourself with the thoughts and examples you want for yourself, absorb them and become them.
26. Make room in your life, let go of something old and you will summon something new.
27. Strive to be humble and live a simple life.
28. Language matters. Explore the meaning of words and find the ones that empower you.
29. Never underestimate the power of a positive thought. Wield as many as you can.
30. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. (Thank you, Gretchen Rubin.)
Indulge your curiosity, follow your inspiration and grow into the best version of you.
31. Lasting change requires two things: a plan and the motivation to tackle it.
Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles; it takes away today's PEACE. Don't worry, be Happy.
32. There is real magic in our world. Delight in it.
33. Love actually is all around.
34. Life is one amazing experiment.
35. There are no failures, only hypothesis tested where every result is a success.
36. Dream. Imagine. Be your own fairy godmother.
37. Make every one of your days a true masterpiece. Remember, the old saying: "it's not who you think you are that holds you back but what you think you're not."
38. Every day you stay faithful, every test you pass or obstacle you overcome, you are storing up equity and blessing for future generations.
Finally, remember the ‘Three Simple Rules in Life’:
1. If you do not GO after what you want, you'll never have IT.
2. If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO.
3. If you do not step FORWARD, you'll always be in
the same CHEERS.
The message is powerful...
BE the kind of person who always takes action.
LIVE life on YOUR terms - Make your life happen on purpose.
Manifest your DREAMS, take action.
